3. Cleaning the Printer

Cautions to Take When Cleaning

RWARNING:

•Do not remove any covers or screws other than those specified in this manual. Some parts of the machine are at a high voltage and could give you an electric shock. Also, if the machine has laser systems, di- rect (or indirect) reflected eye contact with the laser beam may cause serious eye damage. When the machine needs to be checked, adjust- ed, or repaired, contact your service representative.

•Do not take apart or attempt any modifications to this machine. There is a risk of fire, electric shock, explosion or loss of sight. If the ma- chine has laser systems, there is a risk of serious eye damage.

RCAUTION:

•When removing misfed paper, do not touch the fusing unit because it could be very hot.

Clean the printer periodically to maintain fine printing.

Dry wipe the exterior with a soft cloth. If dry wiping is not enough, wipe with a soft, wet cloth that is wrung out well. If you still cannot remove the stain or grime, use a neutral detergent, and then wipe over with a well-wrung wet cloth, dry wipe, and let it dry.

Important

❒To avoid deformation, discoloration, or cracking, do not use volatile chemi- cals, such as benzine and thinner, or spray insecticide on the printer.

❒If there is dust or grime inside the printer, wipe with a clean, dry cloth.

❒You must disconnect the plug from the wall outlet at least once a year. Clean away any dust and grime from the plug and outlet before reconnecting. Ac- cumulated dust and grime pose a fire hazard.
